iglidur® A181, sleeve bearing, mm - A181SM

iglidur® A181 | The universal bearing for food contact
The material iglidur® A181 offers both FDA and 10/2011 EC compliance. The blue colour also facilitates the "optical detectability" often required in the food sector. Directly comparable with iglidur® A180 in terms of mechanical properties, temperature and media resistance, iglidur® A181 is even better in terms of wear resistance in most constellations.

Tolerances and measuring system
The installation dimensions and tolerances of the iglidur® bearings depend on the material and wall thickness. Moisture absorption and thermal expansion are decisive for the material. Plain bearings with low moisture absorption can be designed with a minimal amount of bearing clearance. The following applies to the wall thickness: The thicker the bearings, the greater the bearing clearance must be.
Test procedure

Installation
iglidur® bearings are press-fit bearings. The inner diameter is only adjusted to the appropriate tolerance after pressing into the housing bore. The press-fit interference can be up to 2% of the inside diameter. This ensures the secure press-fitting of the bearing. Axial or radial displacements in the housing are thus reliably avoided.
